Do you derive a sense of purpose from UPS?

[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1000960, member: 9789"] Hoke, Tried to give you rep points but apparently I must always pick the same people! I have to spread it around! Great thought provoking question. You already know I am an old timer - retired now 5 years. I would not work anywhere if it did not give me a sense of purpose. [B]You make your own sense of purpose[/B]. This was not just a job to me. It was a career. I had my own goals at every position I worked. Most of those goals involved holding on and training others to hold on to the seasoned values of UPS from back in the '70's and early '80's. I ALWAYS felt that my job was to train, coach and counsel others to.... 1) Make the job easier, 2) Show them how to get satisfaction from doing the job, 3) Show not tell fellow employees how to be successful at their job. I got great satisfaction from every aspect of my dozens and dozens of jobs during my long career with UPS. I always asked myself, what can I do in this position to add value? It was very rare that I was told by a boss what my "sense of purpose" should be. [/QUOTE]
